Tore down my 36 bowfront and changed the gravel to sand to give it a more somewhat natural look.Took a couple hours but my guys seem happier now and I'm proud of myself. Here's an after shot.

Ok this it the original photo that was supposed to post. Any suggestions or questions please!!

Hey people! Just finished with my 20 and I'm excited but I would like more suggestions from my fish "family" hahah. Please comment!

I just switched 2 weeks ago my 20 gallon planted from gravel to sand and it's amazing now!!! I used playsand after going to four different stores including pool supply stores that didn't even have pool filter sand! I settled with the playsand I was gonna use for my beardies tank and my catfish...

Sup people! Today I'm planning on switching my substrate to sand. I have a good amount of fish in there already so how should I do this? I also have a lot of plants as well. I don't wanna put everyone in buckets even though it'll be easier. I was thinking of doing it half and half so I don't...

I'm thinking of changing my tropical planted tank to pfs later this week. Will it damage my plant growth?

Hahah not as bad as my wife saying "aww baby I want a black betta like that!"-ROFL!!!!!

Yeh it's a lantern he likes sleeping in. That's what I think he hurt himself on. Can I move my Raphael to my African tank?

So my Raphael is about 5 inches now and it has some kinda wound on its side that I want to think is due to him rubbing against some of the ornaments in the tank. It looks like he chafed himself squeezing in between a ornament and the glass. Its a 20 gallon with plenty of decor and plants and...

He's cool! Mine hangs in my tropical tank for now but he is VERY social hahah- he is always out and about he even shows off swimming upside down throughout the tank brushing past my betta and Gouramis

So I have my Cichlid tank, my Goldie tank, and my tropical tank and I got suckered into buying aquarium salt. Can I use this for any of my tanks and if so would it even be beneficial to my fish? Even if I used salt could I just use Epsom?I havent had any problems as of yet except my older...

(One around 6 inches, 5 inches ,and 3 inches, the rest r under 2 inches) They are all over the tank and i've had the biggest ones for about 2 1/2 years. I have a swim bladder question. I actually work at a lfs and my supervisors...

Um yeh you CAN have a rainbow shark and Gouramis in the same tank with a betta. I'm doing it now with my 20 gallon. My stock is unbelievable in my 20. If anyone calls my bluff let me know and I'll send you a video of my guys along with my striped Raphael, hi fin pleco, featherfin catfish and a...

Is there a solid way to tank safe ornaments used for hamster cages, bird cages etc so it can be used in my cichlid tanks?

I have my malawi set up and I have a brown knife that's been in there for a couple months as well. I feed NLS and kelp flakes to my cichlids. For my brown knife I have to feed from turkey baster shrimp pellets, bloodworms and brine shrimp to make sure he gets them. Any better ideas?
